Option from bench
Cheshmi (hamstring) is on the bench for Friday's match against Egypt.
Analysis: Cheshmi has returned to play for Iran on Friday, as the defender is fit from the bench. He has yet to see a minute of play thus far in the World Cup and will look to see the field Friday. However, he is expected to serve more of a depth role for the team.
Fit for Egypt clash
Cheshmi (hamstring) participated in a full training session Wednesday, confirming his recovery from the injury that has kept him out of every match this World Cup, according to YS Scores.
Analysis: Cheshmi had missed both of Iran's first two group stage fixtures, and his return to full training is an encouraging sign ahead of Friday's decisive match against Egypt. The defender is expected to be available for what is a must-win game for Iran, who sit second in Group G with two points behind leaders Egypt on four.
